Jazz&Jazz Introduces High Quality YouTubes

January 11, 2014 By Peter Butler Leave a Comment

Back in November last year I posted a YouTube entitled “Tad Newton’s Jazz Friends Live at The Peartree”. I was far from happy with the quality I require on Jazz&Jazz.

I’ve now added the following description about that video on YouTube:

“NOTE: Taken on my iPhone, this YouTube does not match the quality I now achieve on my iPhone/Sony Carl Zeiss Lens Camera. Recently released, it revolutionises videoing with a compact zoom lens operated by the iPhone (or iPad) by a simple App providing local WiFi connection. Crystal clear imaging along with a powerful zoom, the compact, versatile iPhone/ Sony lens combination now allows me to discretely film the top quality YouTubes I require for Jazz&Jazz – to support my aim of KEEPING JAZZ LIVE AND ALIVE! ”

You can view this YouTube at: http://youtu.be/h2IzZ2bADKg but please compare it with my subsequent YouTubes, even those taken in difficult club/stage lighting confines. I think you will agree the improvement is dramatic. For instance:

HELP US KEEP JAZZ LIVE AND ALIVE!

Popular belief is that Jazz has had its day. Not so! There are plenty of great bands on the jazz circuits - playing at Concerts, Clubs, Festivals. People say the musicians and fans are past their sell by dates and don’t attract younger audiences. Again, not so! There is a Jazz Revival! Numerous younger bands with growing numbers of enthusiastic young fans are making their mark.

Jazz&Jazz is dedicated to keeping jazz LIVE AND ALIVE. We value exchanges of views on all things jazz. You can make your comments by using the “Speak Your Mind” option below each post.

But as Jazz&Jazz coverage increases incrementally in quality as well as quantity so do costs - travel, photography, videos, subscriptions, booking and ticket prices.

CONTRIBUTIONS to help cover costs would therefore be greatly appreciated. Jazz&Jazz also features JAZZ ART, sales of which help finance expenses.

RECENT ACCOLADES

“Jazz & Jazz” is an invaluable platform for news about young bands and musicians. It’s a great way for organisers like me to know what is going on! The enthusiasm of Peter Butler is inspirational and infectious and has certainly done much to boost the reputation of Fest Jazz beyond the boundaries of Brittany. Long may the site continue and flourish!”
Trevor Stent, Good Time Jazz

“Dear Peter, You have embarked on a lonely road. There have been few people painting New Orleans musicians over the years. There was one guy named Frank Caunce … in the 1965 - 72 period who was very good but not as organised as you. So keep doing what you are doing.”
Barry Martyn, New Orleans

“Very pleased to be associated with Jazz & Jazz. It promises to be be an influential contribution not just to the UK but to any one anywhere capable of accessing it.
